Question by mycophagist: Could several months of using alcohol and benzodiazepines together daily have hurt my body?
Yeah, so last summer I got into the habit of getting drunk and taking benzos practically every day. Usually xanax or klonopin, but sometimes valium and ativan. imovane sometimes, too, but that’s not a benzo. I don’t think that I feel any weaker than I used to, but I’m wondering if about five months of abuse could have some detrimental effect on my heart or brain.

Answer by B
Yea, don’t forget about the liver. My hubby’s grandma passed away on Nov. 8 of ’09 due to Cirrhosis of the liver: caused by drinking. She also took Xanex to be able to tolerate her husband, I’m sure that contributed to her demise just not positive how. My dad was just diagnosed with Cirrhosis as well…he doesn’t do drugs though. Why are you doing them??

Question by mom2ahkg: what type of drugs would a mother take if the baby was born wityh amphetamines and opiates in it’s sysyem?
We are adopting a baby that was born with amphetamines and opiates in it’s system. I am not familiar with drugs at all. What kind of drug would the mother be taking to get this mixture to her unborn child. I highly doubt it is prescription, as she would never go to the dr while pregnant.I’m sure it’s a street drug one could make at home. I want to do research on this and worst case scenarios we could look for as the baby’s central nervous system grows. We love the baby no matter what, but what kind of help could she need? I can only get those answers if I know what drug to look up, I guess. We see a neurologist soon. Just curious, meanwhile. Thanks
